Cabinet Minister Dr Andrew Wheatley has rejected as "patently false, inaccurate and grossly misleading" an Integrity Commission report recommending he be charged with illicit enrichment and three other offences.
The Member of Parliament for St Catherine South Central made the comments in a media statement issued Wednesday, minutes after the commission's investigation report and an accompanying ruling from the Director of Corruption Prosecution were tabled in the House of Representatives.
The commission's director of investigation Kevon Stephenson found that Wheatley's assets, acquired between 2013 and 2022, were allegedly disproportionate to his lawful earnings by approximately $164 million, and that he failed to provide a satisfactory explanation when asked.
